Anyone Ever Bought from iOffer?

They have a lot of the High Quality KO's that would work for my purposes. I display the pieces and don't really care if original or not as I am never going to sell them.

Just wondering what folks experience with these pieces are.

Re: Anyone Ever Bought from iOffer?

I have the High Quality KO Dinobots, Devastator, and Shockwave, and they're all excellent IMO. Purchased them all on ioffer. The only issue was the quality in packaging. Luckily, none of my figures were damaged, however, two of the figures had slight damage to the boxes, and the large box looked horrific from the outside when I picked them up at the post office, mainly because EMS doesn't take good care of their packages when shipping.

Re: Anyone Ever Bought from iOffer?

Theres a few ioffer guys who sell the KO's, but all use EMS, so the toys need to be well protected or there is risk of damage. I have only bought one thing from someone on iOffer, a KO Coach purse for the wife. Box was flattened by the time it arrived but the purse is just fabric so not a concern. Had it been a toy it may have been damaged.

People who buy from anyone on iOffer needs to know in advance that most the items you see that have 2good2betrue prices are always KO. Knowing this, which you do will make the transaction favourable. Most complaints I see are from people who thought they were ordering genuine products and recv'd a KO. Their own fault really.

I just wonder if the ioffer is actually more risky than ebay ? I thought both are the same level risk and case to case different while dealing with P2P.

I wouldnt say its anymore risky then ebay if you know what you want, like I said, its only risky if you want an official product and don't do any research first. iOffer uses rating systems as well, so in theory if someone has a high rating you should be fine. Granted there are oddities even with high rating sellers but same occurs on ebay too.

I would think the only real risk you run, at least with KO stuffs is the condition of said stuffs on arrival, its all coming from china. If its not packaged securely it could be damaged.

I plan to use ioffer many times in the near future.

For authentic, no, probably the same. But your not likely to find KO (not supposed to) on ebay.
